Water World Wednesday

                                             WELCOME TO WATER WORLD WEDNESDAY
                                                                  Episode 69, Year 1

Two Sundays ago me and friends were at the park again having fun. You see our summer here in Michigan is weird this is my first time ever to have a summer like this we got a lot of rain this year. So everytime the weather turns nice and the temperature says 77f or 78F off we go to the beach. These time I was able to snapped lots of photos one thing that I do like is the Swan family.

                                            The father and mother swan can't find the baby.

                                         Oh there is the baby swan right behind the mother swan

                                                         Still following the mama swan

                                    Did the mama swan just kicked the baby swan? LOL!

Monarch Butterfly

How many of you knew that monarch butterflies, bees and even bats are great pollinators but they are approaching to extinction. Which for me it is sad when I read this news a year ago. My purpose of having a flower and vegetable garden is for bees and butterflies to pollinate and have life not extinction. I let grow of my broccoli,bokchoy and other veggies to flower so bees and butterflies enjoy it. I think we have to take care of these little creatures they take care of us without us not taking pride of it or thinking about it.

(NaturalNews) You have likely seen them dancing through the air and gracing the petals and leaves of various plants and shrubs. But a new study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity says that the popular Monarch butterfly, which is an absolute necessity for farmers, is on the decline. And the cause? Genetically-modified (GM) crops like corn, soy, and cotton, which today blanket millions of acres of American cropland.

Though not necessarily in the same vein as bees and bats, Monarch butterflies are still considered to be migrational pollinators. They travel very long distances and often inadvertently pollinate various flowers and plants. But Monarchs rely on milkweed plants to breed -- milkweed is actually the only plant on which Monarch larvae can feed -- and the use of pesticides in GM agriculture is contributing to the elimination of milkweed, and thus the elimination of Monarchs.

The study explains that during the 2009 - 2010 Monarch overwintering season, which represents the time during which eastern North American Monarch butterflies hold out through the winter in warmer Mexico, populations reached an all-time low. And while they increased slightly the following year, they still remained at dismally low levels.

Besides loss of forest in overwintering areas and continued land development, the report tacks the "expansion of GM herbicide-resistant crops, with consequent loss of milkweed host plants" as the culprit in declining Monarch butterfly populations. After all, Monsanto's Roundup herbicide specifically targets milkweed for termination, and roughly 150 million pounds of the poison are applied to US cropland every year.

If GM crops continue to take over the whole of agriculture with great strides, as they continue to do, Monarch butterflies (as well as bees and bats), may eventually become extinct. And without these pollinators, of course, it will be no longer possible to grow food.

T-shirt Designs

 I was in the mall today and while looking around I spotted this t-shirt store.  I remember immediately I have to design a t-shirt for the birthday of hubby next year. I am not going to tell how old is he here in the whole wide world to know but I am planning I am going to throw a huge party for him. As I was inside, I could not find a good sign printed in the t-shirt it was then I thought of designing one for this event.

     When I got home, I call a friend and ask her if she knew a site who can design a t-shirt with the t-shirt included of course. I have plenty of idea on what to print on the t-shirt,  t-shirt designs I like  to be that are unique and easy to read and remember. I went to browse the site and indeed I find how easy to design a t-shirt it is like counting one-two-three and you are done! Here is the website you can try design your shirt in no time www.designashirt.com I am sure you would love this site because ass I was browsing the site I love it too. It is very easy to navigate I even ended up designing something for me not for the birthday event lol! 

Water World Wednesday

                                             WELCOME TO WATER WORLD WEDNESDAY
                                                                    Episode 68, Year 1

This year our summer is weird here in Michigan. We do not have much above temperature in the 80F nor 90F compare to last year. The month of July we have several cold days and now in August seems like spring or feels like beginning of fall. Last weekend friends and I went to a beach to enjoy summer but then rain came and our party were abrupted that quick.

Blue Sky

Last Sunday a bunch of friends and I went to a Dairy Farm actually this place is not very far from our house. That day was cold but in the later part in the afternoon the blue sky showed up and so happened we are at the farm.
